I went with a fly fishing club and it was excellent. Kemo the host greeted everyone and made us all feel welcome. One member had campsite #42 with a trailer and it was very difficult to get level. They got there a little after 5 and Kemo worked with them until almost 9 trying to get them level. They got it pretty good then the next day several of us went over and finally had to get the jack out of the car to jack up the axel and we finally got it level. This site needs to have some leveling work done or be designated a tent site.

Hiking to the upper lakes was a beautiful experience

@MelissaB359768 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #27

We were supposed to be in 027 but wound up in 002 due to a small mix up. It was fine - I dont think theres a bad spot in the campground. The space was beautiful and the bathrooms were incredibly clean. My biggest regret is only being there for one day. I cant wait to go back. Also - the camp host was a true gem. Thank you so much Kimo - and thank you - we had enough gas to make it to Lee Vining.

We would give this campground 5 stars but we really didnt like all the flys. Way to many flysThe camp host was absolutely amazing. Great guy, super clean bathrooms, made his rounds and showed he really cared for the campground. Fishing was good at Trumbel lake never went down to Virginia lakes they were to busy .Please keep this camp host hes awesome

@RobertE4617436 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #12

Campground and campsites were very clean. Bathrooms were always kept up and clean. Kimo is a great camp host. This place is our go-to when we camp in the Eastern Sierras!!

@AustinM1324750 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #16

Beautiful as always. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. Thanks!

@AmandaK6014539 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #40

Kemo the camp host was the best! He made sure we had everything we need! Definitely recommend fishing at all the surrounding lakes. We caught a lot of trout!

@OwenO9155735 · Camped on Jul 5, 2025 at Campsite #14

This refers to Site 14 only.This campsite is restricted access due to trees - and is narrow. While my 25' RV would have fit the length, the site was too narrow to safely reverse into. If you're in a tent, or a van style RV, you should be fine, but not reccomended for a wider class C or similar.

@RoyY1D6E5DF716 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #16

I been coming here for years, never been disappointed. Kimo, the Host, is super friendly and ALWAYS has touched base with me every year when I arrived. The fishing has always been good. Plenty of hiking trails, the hike to Blue Lake is spectacular!

@LadanBCB945F2A · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #42

Clean Bathrooms, friendly host, and a beautiful location!

@BradB8421095 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #27

Kimo is the best!

@LisaC6980823 · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #27

Kimo who was the camp host is absolutely awesome! Gave super great recommendations for the area and was extremely friendly and approachable. The bathrooms were so clean and surprisingly did not smell. You could tell campers were extremely respectful in this area and that Kimo maintained the area so well. The camp ground was quiet and very peaceful. highly recommend if you're truly looking to disconnect.

@KarenS4720852 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #10

We had the best time camping at camp site #10. Although there was a lot more vegetation then any of our other visits (which meant more bugs/mosquitos), we still had a really great time! Took the hike to Frog Lakes, caught fish, and had some quality family time! Kimo was great as well as so helpful! Bathrooms were kept very clean!

@JoanneZCDCA558 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #2

Awesome trip. Trumbull never disappoints! Thank you Kimo for always doing your best to make it a great experience!

@DanielG6266400 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #34

This is a beautifully quiet campground! Big shout out to the camp host Kemo for maintaining clean well stocked restrooms and overall good vibe in the campground.You can do nothing and simply enjoy the beauty, or fish or hike! Or all three which is what we did. Only negative was the biting flies. My fault though for not keeping feet covered. I think these little pests are probably only an issue in the Spring/early Summer.

@MikeC4022067 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #11

Great host

@JamesJ5898180 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #41

We totally enjoyed our stay at Trumbull Lake. We've been coming here for 15 plus years now and couldn't be happier. One thing needs to be addressed though. The water system needs to be overhauled as the color of the water is rusty red and we were told to let it run until it looked clear. Well, not sure it was ever clear. Be sure to bring a water filter for your RV or something for drinking water if you're tent camping. Campground host Kimo is awesome. Very likeable and very helpful. He cleans the restrooms on a regular basis and there's always enough toilet paper.Enjoy!

@BobM2535414 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #39

One of my favorite campgrounds. Kimo, the host, is excellent. He takes pride in the campground, he is very visible throughout the day and will take the time to answer any questions.The campground is at a high elevation, just under 10,000 feet, which I prefer with a great hike available right from the campground.

@SharonP8660185 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #15

Had a wonderful time at Trumbull Lake Campground! It is a beautiful spot with beautiful scenery and views of the mountains. And the campsites and vault toilets are immaculately maintained by camp host Kimo!

@TracyT2929676 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #27

Wonderful campground. There is a great hike up to lakes but you need to be away that it's hiking at 10K MSL. The nice thing about that is you can escape some heat. The site I was on did not have a lake view but it was near a restroom. The host was wonderful and the restrooms were clean. Drove to Mono for a spectacular sunrise walk. Resort had $5 showers and food.

@TimPE92854DB5A · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #5

Sometimes the host of a campground sets the tone.Kimo is the best. He is just cool. Friendly, kind and so very helpful. He is constantly present in the camp. Either on his bike or making rounds in his truck. He sets the mood of a relaxed peaceful camp experience.

@DanielE7671140 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #13

My new favorite camp site!

@ChrisG1203337 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #12

Timo is an excellent camp host. He goes way beyond what is required from him. Last year he saw we left behind a picnic chair. He saved it for us for a whole year and returned it to us when we arrived. Restrooms are immaculate by pit standards. Thank you Timo!

@DanielK2430073 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #39

Kimo, the campground host, was terrific, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. The campground was very nice, well located near Trumbull Lake, with easy access to the hiking trails up to the Virginia Lakes and beyond. The dumpster and bathrooms were clean, but smelled, so if the wind was right, it was overpowering. I recommend a campsite away from the bathrooms and dumpster.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
